Corona Virus affecting game releases and more..

Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe from the COVID-19. This Corona Virus has done a lot of damage and since I was bored and had nothing to come up with I just decided to list the latest news in the gaming world. So let’s get into it.

The Last of US 2 and Iron man VR Refunds

If you pre-ordered any of these 2 games you must have received a refund notification by now that is because the games have been “Delayed Indefinitely” and the developers are figuring out a way to get the game “safely into the customers hands”. This might be heart breaking for a of of people The Last of US 2 was the biggest PS4 game of this year and was greatly anticipated and the Iron Man VR was another excellent game. Well the bright side is the this time can be used to fix bugs inside the game which means NO DAY 1 UPDATES and I hate DAY 1 updates so as much as I am devastated for the delay I am excited for having less updates.

PS5 releases its dualsense controller

Not exactly an effect of the corona virus but it’s pretty big news. So most people don’t know about this but Sony just updates their site with official information on their new Dual Sense controller. It focuses specifically for focus on your sense most specifically sense of touch. The DualSense Controller builds in refined haptic feedback to capture a broader range of motions, such as “slow grittiness of driving a car through mud”. It also includes adaptive trigger buttons that can ‘dynamically’ change their tension for different activities, such as drawing back a bowstring. You can also use a built-in microphone to talk to friends without needing a headset. The design is also different as in the new colour design and the overall round shape of the controller and the angle of the shoulder button is also changed. The share button is now the ‘create’ button. Also it is according to Jim Ryan “continuing our mission at PlayStation to push the boundaries of play, now and in the future”

QuakeCon 2020 Canceled Due To Coronavirus

QuakeCon, which has been running since the ’90s, was scheduled to take place from August 6-9 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Centre in Texas this year. QuakeCon, the long-running annual convention held by video game investor ZeniMax Media to promote its subsidiaries’ projects, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Bethesda Softworks and id Software announced in a statement on Twitter. Despite its cancellation, the event’s organizers are brainstorming “other ways to celebrate the spirit of QuakeCon this August.” QuakeCon is slated to return as a full event next year. So maybe it will be a live stream on YouTube or something else. A ton of announcements tends to come out of QuakeCon every year, especially those related to Doom, The Elder Scrolls Online, and Quake. QuakeCon isn’t the only event to have been canceled due to the coronavirus. A swath of other gatherings–such as Combo Breaker, E3, Gamescom, and many more–have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Call of Duty League events cancelled

Following the cancellation of Overwatch League events, Activision Blizzard opted to do the same for Call of Duty League events, moving all matches to an online-only format for the remainder of 2020. The games will most probably be streaming on Twitch so no great loss but the sheer thrill of those games are not lost. Also answer down below which team you are supporting for me it is the Minnesota Rokkrs.

So that is it for this post guys hope you got some value from this.  Thank you guys for reading to the end hit me up on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn with your thoughts and if you have any ideas which I should write about. Stay safe from the COVID-19. Thank you again and I’ll see you all next week.
